Wednesday, September 18, 2024 – The nefarious scheme by President William Ruto and his allies to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua may never see the light of day.
This is after more than 50 MPs from UDA, ODM,
Wiper, and Independent Parties held a secret night meeting to save Gachagua from
the looming impeachment.
This comes even as Kenya Kwanza
leadership in the National Assembly has already received an impeachment motion
against the second in command.
According to the reports, the impeachment
motion against Gachagua could be tabled before Parliament as early as next
week.
During the night meeting, the legislators
vowed to protect Gachagua from the looming impeachment at all costs.
While commenting on the matter, Githunguri MP
Gathoni Wamuchomba claimed that the power to impeach the deputy president was
with the electorate.
“Gachagua can only be impeached by the
electorate. It is the Kenyan people who have the authority of giving individual
power and even withdrawing the power from them,” Gathoni noted.
The alleged plan to impeach the deputy
president comes hardly a week after more than 48 legislators from the Mt Kenya
region expressed their support for Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki.
While addressing the press on September 12,
the MPs accused Gachagua of instigating division within Mt
Kenya which the lawmakers claimed hampered the region's development.
The caucus further declared Kindiki as their
link to President William Ruto, particularly on development matters.
